CHAPTER 1457: CHAPTER 1464: DREAMING BACK TO A PAST LIFE (6)

The stepmother counted on her fingers and said: "Calculate it yourself, Kaikai getting married, buying a house, and a car in the Capital city, wouldn’t that cost four to five million alone? Plus our storefront, the annual rent alone is sixty thousand; it’s better to ask for more at once so we can buy a ground-floor store ourselves, no need to pay rent, and when we can’t work anymore, we can rent it out to collect rent. All these added together, a few million each, is inevitable."

Father pondered and said: "A few million, isn’t that a bit too much? I have not heard of anyone who died in the line of duty receiving a few million in compensation. Besides, there is her mother too!"

"Are you stupid?"

The stepmother stretched out her finger and poked Father’s forehead hard, saying: "Have you forgotten what she used to do? She was the president’s bodyguard, earning millions annually. She wasn’t married and had no boyfriend; could her family not have savings? In my opinion, her savings alone should be a few million."

"Hmm, maybe indeed there is!"

Father said as he stood up, taking off his apron as he headed out: "No way, I need to go to her house first and keep an eye on things, in case her mother takes the money and everything first..."

"Yes, yes, yes, I’ll go too!"

The stepmother quickly grabbed her purse, hurrying to close the shop, and then ran after Father to hail a cab in the street.

Now, Cai Wei is just a soul; otherwise, she would have exploded in anger.

Previously, she knew her dad did not love her, and her mom didn’t care, but she didn’t realize her father could be so indifferent to such an extent. She had just died, and he hadn’t even cried a single tear—immediately so eager to scrape together her assets. Is this even human behavior?

Following her father and stepmother, she arrived at the apartment she once lived in. Unexpectedly, there were already people there—her mother had arrived first, busily collecting her valuable belongings.

Father, of course, could not stand it; he rolled up his sleeves and started fighting with the stepfather, and the stepmother also got into a struggle with her mother...

A wave of sadness washed over Cai Wei. She had thought that even if her father was heartless and cold, her mother would at least be somewhat sad for her, after all, she was flesh from her own body. However, it seemed she had thought too much.

She couldn’t stand it anymore and quietly drifted outside the door. If her physical body were still there, she would surely be crying her heart out by now.

In this life, although she was a strong woman standing at the pinnacle of her career, unfortunately, she was the most unsuccessful strong woman, not having received even a bit of the most precious family affection. She really was too much of a failure...

Cai Wei felt dejected and continued drifting, drifting to her master’s place. Her master was a retired special agent; it was his years of daily training that brought her into the bodyguard career.

At this moment, her master was sitting at the table, drinking one cup of alcohol after another, while muttering through old tears: "Little Caiwei, master is sorry, master shouldn’t have trained you to be so excellent... If you weren’t so excellent, you wouldn’t have been selected by the Ministry of Defense, without being selected by the Ministry of Defense, you wouldn’t have been with the president, and without that, you wouldn’t have... died... ehhhh..."

As master spoke, he slumped down on the table, crying like a child.

A warmth filled Cai Wei’s heart, and she gently went forward and embraced her master’s ethereal form.

In this world, there were still people who cared about her...

Accompanying her master for a few days, although she couldn’t talk to him or comfort his grieving heart, Cai Wei felt a sense of solace knowing that in this world, there was someone who sincerely loved her!

A few days later, as master’s mood settled, Cai Wei went to the nursing home, a place she used to often visit. Knowing the risks associated with her profession, she had already designated in her will all her assets, including the insurance money and state compensation for her accidental death, to be donated to this nursing home.

When she arrived, the nursing home was immersed in sorrow. The grandpas and grandmas had already heard about her passing from the TV and were sitting in the courtyard, wiping their tears while talking about her.

"Heaven is really unfair, such a good child like Little Caiwei, just gone like that!"

"Just the other day, I was thinking of introducing her to my grandson, oh, what a pity such a lovely girl..."

"Oh! I’m still alive, yet it’s a pity for such a young girl, oh, why couldn’t I have died in her place..."

Hearing all this, the tonnes of hurt Cai Wei had received from her parents vanished. In this world, she wasn’t alone; there were so many people who cared about her and loved her, so even if she had to leave forever, she had no regrets...

After one last look at these dear grandpas and grandmas, Cai Wei slowly drifted out of the nursing home, looking up at the sky and softly saying: "Cihai Zhenren, let me go back, my family is still waiting for me over there!"

A golden light enveloped her body, she slowly closed her eyes, now tranquil as still water, bidding her past life a final goodbye; from now on, she would just be Mu Caiwei.

After a while, when she felt the golden light disappear, she slowly opened her eyes, only to find herself lying in an utterly unfamiliar room, lavish beyond measure, with Mage Lei Da dancing a strange dance as if cramped up.

Cai Wei rubbed her eyes: "Eh, what’s up with him?"
